The density of an object is its mass divided by its volume. If that is less than the density of water, it will float; if greater it will sink
This would depend on its volume and mass. Density = mass / volume. If the cotton is compressed it will occupy less volume, so the density becomes greater.
water has less density than lead. Mass depends on its volume
0.3 is greater than 0.08
0.549 is greater
Oxygen is the solvent one, since it has the greater volume of two.
No, the amount of solute in a solution is always less than the amount of solvent. Solute is the substance being dissolved and solvent is the substance doing the dissolving. A solution is typically made up of a smaller quantity of solute dissolved in a larger quantity of solvent.
The addition of solute to a solvent concentrates the overall solution. A nice example is the laundry detergent. Some (less) concentrated detergents are less viscous, while highly concentrated detergents are more viscous (greater density). Also, adding more solute to a solvent can lower the freezing point.
The ratio of solute to solvent in a solution is typically represented by the concentration of the solute in the solvent. This can be expressed as a molarity, weight/volume percent, or other unit that describes the amount of solute present in a given volume or weight of solvent. The specific ratio will vary depending on the amount of solute and solvent used to create the solution.
The solute becomes less ordered
A solution consists of one or more solutes dissolved in a solvent. The solute is the substance that dissolves and the solvent is the substance that dissolves the solute. Take salt water as an example. The salt is the solute and the water is the solvent.
Basically, yes. But only sometimes. The solute is indeed the material you have less of, and the solvent is the material in which you try to dissolve that solute. Sometimes, however, you cannot dissolve the solute.
When a solute dissolves in a solvent, they form a solution. The solute particles are dispersed throughout the solvent particles. The solute-solvent combination determines the properties of the resulting solution.
Molality is a concentration unit that expresses the amount of solute (in moles) dissolved in a solvent per kilogram of solvent. It is calculated by dividing the moles of solute by the mass of the solvent in kilograms. Unlike molarity, molality is not affected by temperature variations because it is based on the mass of the solvent rather than the volume.
Concentrated refers to a substance with a high amount of solute compared to the solvent, resulting in a strong solution. Diluted, on the other hand, describes a solution with a low amount of solute compared to the solvent, making it weaker or less potent.
You can change the concentration of a solution by adding more solute or solvent to it, or by removing some of the solvent. A higher concentration means more solute is dissolved in the solvent, while a lower concentration means less solute is dissolved.
The substance in large amount is the solvent and the substance in the small amount is the solute. So, oxygen being more is the solvent and helium being less is the solute.
